Which type of transactions do you use the most? Is it on-chain or off-chain?🔎

it kind of depends: if I am doing defi (regular, smaller transactions - more similar to my credit card) then offchain but if I am transferring some newly purchased digital gold (bitcoin) then I would prefer onchain. I think there are two specific use cases and both equally valid.

I use the lightning network to use sats as money so off chain for me layer 2 solutions, doesn't bloat the blockchain only using the blockchain to settle the payment

Can you guys help me please? Cause i don't fully understand yet, from what i catch is something like this
CEX transaction is off chain
DEX transaction is on chain
But please correct me if I'm wrong
From CEX to CEX = off chain
From DEX to DEX = on chain
But how about
From DEX to CEX = ?
Or
From CEX to DEX = ?

On chain works for me. I think it's more secured and than off chain.

Transactions of any meaningful value, always on chain.
